We adopt the title VIVAT International as a unifying symbol of the congregations from which the body is formed. VIVAT International is an organized network of all sisters of the Sisters Servants of the Holy Spirit (hereafter SSpS) and confreres of the Society of the Divine Word (hereafter SVD) whose work, expertise, or experience has direct bearing on issues related to social justice, development, peace, or ecology, and of those directly associated with these congregations in their apostolate and activities related to these issues.
Adopted on November 18, 2000
VIVAT International shares a vision of the world and of every human being as created in goodness and dignity, and believing in the equality in rights and in dignity of all individuals, peoples and cultures, we commit ourselves to promote justice, harmony and reconciliation in the world.
VIVAT International therefore aims to
 |
Reach out to persons and peoples living in poverty of any kind, and share in their efforts for a restoration of well-being, dignity, and freedom. |
|
Promote human rights, sustainable development, understanding and harmony between peoples, cultures, classes, and religions, and the creation of a world society and of local societies that permit the participation of all. |
|
Work for ecological sustainability, the protection of biodiversity, and the preservation of the richness of the planet for future generations. |
We recognize that these goals are entirely compatible with the work of the United Nations for human rights, peace, and development. We also recognize that the United Nations is an important forum for collaboration with many others in the world who share these goals. We therefore seek to work together with the United Nations, as well as with other agencies and NGOs.
We believe that the presence and long term experience of our members in many and variegated situations in the world is an important resource for achieving these goals.
